Multigenre Research Reaction

At first I did not like the idea of a multigenre research project. I had never heard of it before and was cautious about what I would end up doing For the past few years I have been pondering on the idea of becoming a psychologist. I love trying to understand others and want to be a part of healing the world mentally.

I read a multigenre project about a little girl named Ally. She has been being researched by a psychologist after watching multiple Disney movies. The psychologist, Dr. Sandra J Duwaik, is doing research on how Disney movies can often distort the way a child deals with death and grievance. She had brought up some interesting points and I sort of want to go ahead and do something that has to deal with psychology.

When I read her proposal, I agreed with her. I have watched some Disney movies and have thought that some of the things are pretty guesome for little kids to be watching. Children may often times get the wrong idea of how to handle things if they can connect with a character. Ally connected with the Beast in the movie Beauty and the Beast and found herself becoming paranoid, afraid of death, and thinking of how people would react to her death like characters did in the movie with the Beast. Thoughout the research, Dr. Sandra J Duwaik, paused and identified how Ally demonstrated the steps of the death cycle. This was an intersting read and has left me wondering how my nieces would respond to the messages in some of the Disney movies.
